I'll be honest: someone showed me this picture and asked to speak to his authorship, name, Mstislav Dobuzhinsky as the author I would have heard.

Cyril Syzran, thanks for the feedback. I already said why I think drew just MIA. It would be interesting to know what caused Your doubts?

Romario, thanks for the reply on the technical execution of the work.

And not for me. Allegedly, someone now owns the archive of the deceased sculptor

No longer owned. When sculptor died, a house, a workshop and an archive of it, which few people knew (sculptor was not too sociable) remained outdated sister when she died and she, the chaos began, as close relatives of them. The structure of the archive include: a library of art books, finished and unfinished sculptures, paintings and drawings (mostly clasicos Lithuanian art school, etc.). Part of this archive (mainly library) took the Museum of the town, the birthplace of the sculptor, the rest were distant relatives, who sold this estate kollekcioneram and through art auction (work Dobuzhinsky: watercolor, graphics, lithographs including and it is easy to prove). That's the story. I think that museums in this story were careless, but probably the reason is that the museums did not have the legitimate reason to pick up this archive is private property is sacred.

chaos

Yeah, usually when something loud authorship, but do not have a clear provenance, it turns out, about and relative to the time of the finding of the masterpiece in the commercial proposal.

"the chaos began" in the sense that nobody knew what to do with the remaining belongings - so much so, that the deceased neighbors began searching for relatives of the sculptor... And about the authenticity of the works sold, there was no doubt - at the auction they went without problems if you have to keep in mind that in Lithuania the interest in the art sales - the floor...
And bought Dobuzhinsky, as far as I know, the Russians.

Dobuzhinsky on the market and many of its schedule several times at auctions exhibited intact archives, collections, collections - I remember such sales on the European auctions.
Yes, and the famous "Prague archive - removed from Lithuania in 1938 before moving to America archive of artists (a selection of drawings from which is called "family album"), several times then changed owners and in 2007(?) year was purchased at Christie's by the owner of the gallery "On the striker Assembly" Elena Voronina.

Yes, from there... (as expressed in Y. Nikulin in "Brilliantovoi hand").
I turned to the forum because he couldn't figure out what's the point of this illustration is to the scenery it's not like, can illustration, but then the question arises: what work? "Scene from the life of the nobility", in a word...
